It is with joy that I read at a homepage for a large Swedish morning paper that the Swedish parliament (riksdagen) voted for changing the law and introduce gender neutral marriage, meaning that there will be no difference between straight and gay people when they marry. Since 1994 there has been a law allowing for civil unions for gay people but from now on there will only be one law for all citizens of Sweden.

Religious organisations have the right to marry by appointment by the Swedish government, so this might mean a change for them and one wonder what view they will have on the new law.
